Cecil de Blaquiere Howard was born in Canada, but later lived in the USA. At the age of 2, his family moved to New York, where he later began his studies, although he then lived in Paris for 35 years. In World War II he supplied the German prisoner-of-war camp with food and medicines for the Red Cross, returning to the US after the war. He was a sculptor in the classical style, specializing in monumental statues, but also did nudes, busts and sculptures of animals. Howard was also known for his athletic sculptures, especially of boxers. His grandson is well-known French actor Yves Beneyton.
